THE CONSERVATIVE HIPSTERS

Bend over, Davey Boy!

I'm happy with the merger. Honest. Despite our (policy) differences, I think the only way Conservatives can win the next--or any--federal election is for us to stay together.

So, I didn't lose a lot of sleep when Petey MacKay put the screws to PC "tourist" David Orchard when he reneged on the agreement he signed not to merge with the Canadian Alliance with Orchard to ensure his support for the leadership of the PC Party a few years back.

And hey, its not my conscience, or my word, so good on MacKay for stabbing Orchard in the back and merging the two parties.

But this is hilarous. MacKay is now "fuming" that Scott Reid, one of the MPs involved in the resulting merger talks between the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conservatives, is pushing a Party amendment that would give larger ridings more delegates.

Apparently that specifically was supposed to be off the table as part of the merger.

Guess it doesn't feel nice to be on the other end, does it Pete?

Well, if he's getting serious with Belinda Stronach, I'd say he better get used to it.
